Smart Gel HEYLOVE Soft

Smart Gel HEYLOVE Soft: the rosy taupe of the Smart Gel range

Soft sits at the exact centre of the covering shades in the range. A balanced rosy taupe, with no marked cast, which builds and colours in a single operation.

Building and colouring in one gesture

That is the main commercial interest of these tinted gels. On a classic set you build, then file, then lay a colour in two coats. With a covering gel, the colour is already in the building material: you remove two steps and the corresponding lamp time. On a client coming in for a discreet strengthening overlay, the service easily gains a quarter of an hour.

Telling the four close neutrals apart

The range has four very similar shades in terms of lightness, and the confusion is immediate in a catalogue. Soft is the most neutral. Smart Gel HEYLOVE Calm is cooler, with a mauve note. Smart Gel HEYLOVE Aesthetic is warmer, frankly brown. Smart Gel HEYLOVE Balanced sits between the two, in rosy brown. On a photographed chart they all look alike; laid side by side on tips in daylight, each reveals its cast. It is exactly the kind of family that demands a physical display.

How to apply it

File, dust off, dry with pH Bond HEYLOVE and allow thirty seconds of evaporation. Rubber Base HEYLOVE Clear goes on as a thin coat worked in by rubbing then completed to smooth, and cures in 30 seconds. Remove its dispersion layer. Lay Soft as an architectural layer, flash for 30 seconds, then one minute with both hands. Remove the sticky layer, refine the free edge, then apply the top coat for one to two minutes.

Who to recommend it to

Clients who ask for a natural but not invisible strengthening, and those whose profession rules out assertive colour. Its neutrality makes it compatible with almost every skin tone, which makes it the shade to bring out when you do not yet know a new client's tastes.
